Even Tolkien made that mistake sometimes. In fact Dwarves was wrong altogether, but Tolkien still chose that way of spelling it.

I remember reading the Annotated Hobbit for the first time and being introduced to the word "Dwarrows". I though it was amusing that Tolkien intentionally used Dwarves because, essentially, he liked it better (and it matched Elf/Elves). I suppose as a consolation prize we got "Dwarrowdelf"

LOL, you know someones going to video capture that whole thing and put it out on the net. Maybe stream it on a site live while it's happening. That's such a cash grab.

And the only extras are video blogs I can watch for free on the internet? Yea, no thanks. I'mm gonna wait for the EE.

We're waiting too! We wants better special features, precious!

Yes, yes! Better special features, precious! Yes! Gollum. Gollum!

Woahhh~ so much info still coming! I would love to see that sneak-peek; good thing I still have a little while 'til it's released.

Also, I saw others posting some awesome fan art, so I thought I would share a few that I really love, if that's alright!





SHAGGY PONYYY~ <3



And here is the artist! I'm amazed at how well she can capture their likeness with her own style

Fantastic art! I love the Final Fantasy/Amanoesque aspect to these images. The wisps are awesome!

Well, the current worldwide box office is at $955 Million, which puts it at #18 all-time.

Also, the current IMDB rating is still at 8.3/10, which puts it at the #153 best-rated film. This will still drop a bit, but it seems the rating for this will end up very high.

All's well that ends well.

I'm curious to how high the number will be after it has a few weeks in China, since it still hasn't come out there yet (this Friday the 15th, according to IMDB).

Peter Jackson could do the Final Fantasy movie in the wonderful magical cornucopia of light and noise it deserves.

figured this thread would be a good place to ask this question: I remember in second grade we had a substitute teacher who would play this instrumental Celtic like CD and let us all take naps. I also remember that it was associated with the Hobbit in some way. Anyone have any idea what it might be?

Could be this very rare Tolkien approved music by Carey Blyton.

I expect the next batch of Vlogs in March to coincide with the Blu-ray release and The Desolation of Smaug preview.

I wonder who the green fellow is:

invisible bilbo

Spoiler

gollum

 

[Loxley]

If I had to guess, maybe just a crew member who is directing where the boat is going and will be digitally removed in post production (hence the green).

Probably easier than building under-water tracks for the boat like a Disney ride.

Man I want that Middle-Earth theme park to be real

Hell yes. Chances of holding out for the EE waning...

 

[The Lamonster]

I still think it's tacky. Why we gotta have photos of people?

I'm betting the EE version will be much classier, something like this:

Is that the Bluray or regular DVD?

Three times, never got to see it in HFR 3D though. I figure by the time DOS hits theaters, many many more theaters will be able to show it.

Which is good, because I have to see Smaug on HFR 3D. You know Jackson's going to go nuts with it.

Amazon has a different cover listed for the US BluRay 3D:

Has this been confirmed anywhere else, or is it just Amazon right now?

 

[Vashetti]

Gandalf looks like he's loading a shotgun in that cover.

Both.

That's the steelbook cover confirmed for France and Germany thus far.

I see! Hope they actually use it for the US BluRay 3D, I'd pick it up over the regular cover if it wasn't outrageously expensive.

Got to see it 5 times (3 times in 48fps), and I would gladly go see it another 5 times <3

The more I learn that Tolkien was almost literally the stereotypical old man yelling at the little hooligans to get off his lawn and turn down their bloody rock music, the more I like him :lol

Bilbo looks a little bit TOO badass on this pic.

I can understand badass bilbo working for the other movies ... but this one looks strange

That's exactly what I thought, must have been pretty frustrating for such a veteran actor.

I still don't see any justification for doing so many of the scenes with CGI creatures rather than actors in costume in the film. I'm looking at you flashback battle.

Maaaan, I wish I could go to a dwarf party, if only to see hobbits v. dwarves in beer pong; wat!
